Are you asking us our opinion or telling us that the engine is loud?

I actually thought that the Fit was remarkably quiet, atleast when compared to my rattle-trap Civic Wagon. Road noise is much better suppressed, and at idle, I couldn't even feel or hear the engine that well. Once under way, yes, there is some engine noise, but I never found it annoying or uncomfortably loud. Compared to the 04' CRV we test drove, the Fit had little/no tire and road noise.

I personally wouldn't drive a car with a 1.5 liter engine and expect it to be a quiet ride. That's me though.

I think it might have something to do with there being hundreds of small explosions going on each minute. J/k, I noticed it's a tad loud, too. Car and Driver also complained.

the fitis loud because there isn't much insulation that seperates you from the engine (non-dampened firewall)+

My 97 Del Sol with the D16 was about the same.... my guess is you have never driven loud cars.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by 20ls01 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">my 88 civic with d15b2, which is 19 years old, 19 year old technology is quieter than that thing. it has 92 hp compared to the fits 108 engine and its quieter. the dumb salesman said its cuz the engine is tiny lol. probably true to some extent. im in no way making of the fit, just wondering if you guys noticed that too</TD></TR></TABLE>

I would bet the Fit motor is a bit louder due to the stroke. It's torquey in relation to the hp.

If you think that's loud, please don't come to the drag strip. lol After being involved with race cars and loud motors, this car is a welcome peace and quiet to me. But, I can see how in this day and commuter age it might seem loud. But, it really isn't.
